Lyrics: 

Ad te levavi oculos meos, qui habitas in coelis. V. Ecce sicut oculi servorum in manibus dominorum suorum. V. Et sicut oculi ancillae in manibus dominae suae: ita oculi nostri ad Dominum Deum nostrum donec misereatur nostri. V. Miserere nobis, Domine, miserere nobis.

Translated Lyrics: 

To Thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven. V. Behold as the eyes of servants are on the hands of their masters. V. And as the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until He have mercy on us. V. Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us.
